Customer Reviews

Hollywood Divorces
As always, I eagerly awaited the latest book by Jackie Collins. Having read all her books, I do find that they all read in a similar vein but that didn`t detract me from enjoying this one. The usual characters are there eg. beautiful, go getting women and handsome, powerful men, though well written as I do find that I end up liking or disliking each one. Maybe using actual peoples names makes me think less fiction and the description of the characters leads me to wonder if the characters are based on real people. Lola sanchez, a Latino superstar, climbing her way from nowhere, could her physical attributes be that of a certain Latino singer/actress? As a Jackie Collins fan, I enjoyed this book as I`m sure other fans of her books will, maybe not as enthalling as previous books but compulsive reading never-the-less.

How can you not love Jackie Collins?
This was the first Jackie Collins book I read, and I have to say I'm now an avid fan. People may say her novels are smutty or dirty, but they're also honest and provide incredible insight to personal experience and situation.

Take "Hollywood Divorces" as an example. The main characters are three women struggling on the Hollywood scene -
Shelby Cheney, married to adulterous alcaholic actor Linc Blackwood, is finally making a name for herself, thanks to her new movie, and there is even talk of Oscar nomination. Linc, whose career is failing due to his personal indulgences of drink, women, and eventually drugs, makes life increasingly hard for his wife, as she struggles to enjoy sucess and cover her husbands tracks.
Lola Sanchez, a hot new latino talent, is scarred by a liason with Linc when she was young and unknown, which left her unable to carry children. Driven by revenge, Lola is determined to ruin him, providing her puppy of a husband Matt and secret lover, drug lord director Tony Alvarez don't complicate her personal life to the point of total destruction.
Cat Harrison, a 19 year old director whose first movie 'Wild Child' brought her unlimited success, is devoted to her 'perfect' rock star huband Jump Jagger (no relation to Mick...), but will circumstances change beyond her control...?
Run ins with a perverted producer, the ever present press and of course, each other, prove for elaborate and explosive results. This book is fantastic, and well worth the read.

Hollywood Divorces
I read this book within a matter of days, it's perfect for the beach or if your pennies don't stretch that far then you should read it with a box of chocolates and a glass of wine within easy reach. It's all about doing things you shouldn't!

Well, it's all here, sex,drugs and rock n roll. The rock n roll part provided by the slightly iffy character Jump Jagger (what sort of name is Jump?!), husband to up and coming director Cat, a young lady with a wild past.
The sex part is Lola Sanchez, a beautiful sex bomb who has rushed into marriage with Matt Steele, tennis pro who fails to hold her attention.
And then theres Linc Blackwood, big action movie star with an even bigger appetite for booze, drugs and pretty ladies. His wife Shelby, Hollywoods hottest star, is trying to cover up for his misdemeanours, but how much more is she willing to take?

A little perdictable, but enjoyable none the less
